Boom!
Scorching flames burst out of Su Ping's body. His blood seemed to have turned into boiling flames and unleashed terrifying astral power. Intense red fiery wings appeared on his back.
As he activated his constitution, he felt that his body had become agile, agile, and filled with inexhaustible strength.
Die!
Su Ping quickly took action, combining all the laws in his fist and punching out.
The punch was like a burning meteor; it was horribly destructive with the unique flames.
The demon was instantly dispersed, but it was soon reunited. Su Ping didn't hesitate at all; he punched again and again with surging astral power.
Hundreds of punches overlapped, and the demon was completely blown away. The air was filled with intense flames; the heat penetrated into the fourth space.
Whoosh!
Su Ping flashed and climbed again.
Boom!
He had just climbed to the 200th handle when he was suppressed by an overwhelming will. In a trance, Su Ping saw countless laws revolving in front of his eyes, as well as countless changes in time and space. Countless particles seemed to be reassembling and changing, until they were finally combined into a strange and indescribable object.
Su Ping had never seen it before, but he suddenly realized that it was a path.
Su Ping felt that his head was trembling when the will of the path was suppressed. He felt that he was in the middle of a vast ocean; he was insignificant.
…
At the same time, the outside world was in an uproar when Su Ping reached the 200th handle. Then, there was dead silence.
Everybody found it hard to believe.
The young man with a divine constitution was still at the 199th handle, while Su Ping had already reached the 200th!
He had officially reached the summit and become the champion!
All the contestants down below were dumbfounded; they found it hard to believe that Su Ping had caught up with and surpassed the young man with a divine constitution so quickly!
On the balcony — all the Ascendant State experts were stunned, too. Su Ping's burst of power was too strong; he had really accomplished a miracle!
"First place!"
Ciro's breathing suddenly stopped. His eyes widened as he stared at this scene.
He had thought that Su Ping would be lucky if he could reach the top ten, but Su Ping had actually reached the summit.
Even the Reincarnation Divine Constitution, whom everybody had been looking forward to, had been surpassed!
"That's impossible!"
The young man with a divine constitution had just finished off the demon at the 199th handle; he was about to climb again when he saw someone above his head. He was dumbfounded; his eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Su Ping, who had been on the same level as him a moment ago, had climbed above his head?
The guy had only reached the 199th handle; he had already cracked the attacks there!
His face suddenly turned red and he was trembling in anger. But the next second, he stopped trembling. His eyes turned cold and his temperament changed. He was no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, he looked at Su Ping's back with a deep and reserved look.
Then, he continued climbing.
…
On the 200th handle —
Su Ping felt a surge of pride and disdain when he was suppressed by the overwhelming power. It wasn't his own feeling, but the instinct of the Golden Crows in his blood.
The Golden Crows, which fed on dragons, were too proud to allow themselves to be suppressed.
The flames around Su Ping became more and more vigorous. There seemed to be countless flames flowing in his head. That was the path of fire hidden deep in his blood. The Golden Crows were natural-born masters of the path of fire; they were even the ancient beings who had created it.
Phew!
Golden flames were suddenly spurted out, tearing apart the overwhelming power.
It was the Golden Crows' natural skill, Golden Crow Flames.
The power was torn apart and turned into a magnificent aura that surged into Su Ping's head. He instantly felt that he had an epiphany. A river of laws appeared before his eyes; the laws were just grains of sand in it.
The scene was fleeting. Su Ping didn't have time to savor it before he returned to reality.
Su Ping heaved a sigh and turned around, only to find that the young man with a divine constitution had also reached the 200th handle.
He smiled faintly and continued to climb up.
Su Ping was attacked by another aura when he reached the 201th handle. This time, the aura was sharp and turned into a spear.
The spear seemed to be intelligent; it attacked Su Ping in a tricky and destructive way. Su Ping's secret techniques and laws were minced the moment they touched the spear.
He was caught in a fierce battle again.
Su Ping didn't finish the battle until half an hour later.
He continued climbing.
Time flew.
There were only twenty minutes left until the end.
At this moment, Su Ping had already reached the 204th handle.
Su Ping was about to continue climbing after the battle, when he remembered the young man with a divine constitution and found that he was still at the 200th handle. He was finally relieved. It seemed that the trump cards he had revealed so far were enough for him to win the championship.
"This is already the Path Zone. Even Star Lords have to try their best to climb. Those two monsters …"
On the balcony — all the Ascendant State experts' eyes glittered with passion. This time, they weren't focused on the young man with a divine constitution, but on Su Ping.
Su Ping was likely to have one of the nine divine constitutions, since he had surpassed the Reincarnation Divine Constitution. It would be even more surprising if he didn't!
After all, he had to be of the best quality to make up for the gap between the divine constitutions!
"He's definitely going to win the championship …"
Ciro was completely relieved after seeing that. He put on a smile and was so excited that he almost couldn't wait to send the good news to Lord Hai Tuo.
"He's actually … won the championship."
The other contestants were all stunned, as if they were dreaming.
In less than five hours, Su Ping had risen from the middle of the 110th handle to the top!
If this guy had started sprinting from the start, he would probably have left everyone with a despairing back view!
"Horrifying. Is this his real combat ability?"
"He's so strong. No wonder I lost so quickly. It's not too embarrassing to be enslaved by such a guy, is it?"
"A rare constitution …"
The other geniuses with Ascendant State potential had glittering eyes. Su Jin 'er narrowed her eyes, deep in thought.
Twenty minutes passed quickly; Su Ping eventually stopped at the 205th handle.
The young man with a Divine Constitution also stopped at the 200th handle; he still couldn't get rid of the suppression there. When it was over, all the illusions disappeared and everybody was back on the Heavenly Path Mountain.
The young man with a divine constitution came back to his senses. He raised his head and narrowed his eyes.
The 205th handle!
He was five handles higher than him!
He clenched his fists with an awful expression.
Su Ping's eyes were clear again. He lowered his head, only to find that he was still in first place. He then looked forward to receiving a reward from Lord Supreme.
"The trial is over."
Whoosh!
A magnificent man appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Path Mountain; it was an Ascendant State expert from the Celestial Court. He was shrouded in mist; only his glittering armor could be seen, as if he were a god in an alternate dimension.
"The champion of the Golden Star Zone is … Su Ping from Silvy."
"The runner-up is Diaz from the Wudi Galaxy!"
"The runner-up is William VII from the Blood Shadow Galaxy!"
The Ascendant State expert announced everyone's rankings one by one, stopping at the eleventh. The rest of the rankings would be announced on the official website, but they weren't particularly important there.
Hum ~!
All of a sudden, the void trembled.
To be more exact, the entire universe, including the deeper spaces in that area, was shaking.
Immediately afterward, everyone saw an unforgettable scene. From the towering and sacred Divine Court, an imposing figure suddenly surged out. This was a huge phantom that was comparable to dozens of planets.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe and a crown; he looked both solemn and peaceful, like an emperor or an ancient god.
"It's Lord Supreme!"
On the balcony — all the Ascendants changed their expressions and rose; none of them dared to sit down.
All of them bowed in Lord Supreme's direction.
Everybody on the Heavenly Path Mountain looked at the scene in a daze. Is that really Lord Supreme?
Su Ping's eyes glittered. Is that a Lord Supreme who's even stronger than Joanna's original self?
He would probably be as strong as an elder if he were in the Golden Crows.
"Compared to the First Elder's oppressive aura, it seems to be somewhat inferior." Su Ping thought to himself. He wasn't nervous at all; after all, he had seen a lot of creatures that were even more horrifying.
"You're all Heavenly Talents from the Golden Star Zone. Many of you have Ascendant State potential; I hope you can reach the Ascendant State."
The illusion of Lord Supreme spoke slowly, but his voice was warm and gentle, echoing in that part of the universe.
Su Ping felt that his voice could penetrate deep spaces. No wonder there were ancient creatures in the fifth and sixth spaces; the surface space couldn't contain the will of such a being.
All the contestants were trembling and respectful after hearing Lord Supreme's words.
Even the geniuses with Ascendant State potential were obedient, awed and respectful.
Although they were proud because they had a chance to reach the Ascendant State, they couldn't show any arrogance in front of a Lord Supreme.
After all, there were only a handful of Celestials in the entire Federation.
"The fact that you're able to enter the Path Area while you're only at the Fate State proves that you're very talented and have a chance to become Celestials. Humans have ruled the universe for countless years, but the borders are still invaded by aliens. If more Celestials are born, the borders will be safe forever!"
The illusory figure smiled and said, "These small gifts, I hope that they will allow you to grow wings soon."
Pills appeared in deep spaces in front of Su Ping and Diaz, the young man with a divine constitution.
There were five pills in front of each of them. The pills were black and emitted a refreshing aura.
"Pills of Dao!"
Diaz was shocked; he didn't expect Lord Supreme to be so generous. Those pills were so precious that they could allow a battle pet warrior in the advanced phase of the Star State to perceive paths and become a Star Lord!
Each pill contained a complete Great Dao.
Rewarding them with five pills was equal to giving them five paths. They would become the best of the Star Lords if they took the pills. After all, normal Star Lords usually only perfected one path.
In addition, beside the five Dao cores, there was also a strange stone. It was crimson in color and its surface was covered with black lines.
Many Ascendant State experts on the platform were shocked and greedy after seeing the strange stone.
"A Blood Origin Stone!"
"Both of them have been rewarded with a Blood Origin Stone. That's something that can establish the foundation of a small world!"
"They'll be able to use it once they reach the Ascendant State. That's so generous!"
Some of the Ascendant State experts were jealous.
Su Ping and Diaz were too weak to use such treasures. After all, they were treasures that Ascendant State experts needed.
Lord Supreme had rewarded them with such treasures because he was certain that they would reach the Ascendant State sooner or later, given their talents, unless they died in advance.
"Tsk …" Ciro heaved a sigh and took a deep breath. Greed flashed in his eyes, but he soon restrained himself. After all, nobody dared to rob the treasures from Lord Supreme. Who knew if Lord Supreme had tampered with them? Even if the two of them were assassinated, they wouldn't dare take them!
"Would you like to be my disciple?"
Lord Supreme's illusionary image spoke again at that moment.
Wow!
Everybody on the platform looked at each other in bewilderment, not expecting Lord Supreme to recruit those two as his disciples.
It had to be noted that anyone who became Lord Supreme's disciple would definitely reach the Ascendant State, as long as they weren't idiots.
Although Su Ping and the other geniuses had Ascendant State potential, aptitude and strength were two different things. Most of the geniuses with Ascendant State potential had died on the way.
Becoming Lord Supreme's disciple meant that they would be protected by him, and would be able to reach the Ascendant State without dying.
It would be hard for them to die once they reached the Ascendant State, as long as they didn't act recklessly.
Su Ping was slightly stunned. Another person wants to recruit disciples?
He hesitated. It would be great to be Lord Supreme's disciple, but he didn't want to expose the system or his store.
"I'm willing to!"
Said Diaz excitedly at the 200th handle.
He accepted the offer with passion in his eyes; it was a godsend opportunity.
His goal was to become a Celestial, but he had to reach the Ascendant State first. Only then would he be able to ensure that his life wouldn't be threatened, and that he would have a chance to pursue the path of becoming a Celestial.
"Okay."
Lord Supreme nodded with a smile and then looked at Su Ping.
After a moment of hesitation, Su Ping asked cautiously, "Lord Supreme, what do I have to do if I become your disciple?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire starry sky seemed to have lost its voice and fell into silence.
Diaz, who was still excited, was stunned too. He looked at Su Ping in shock. Lord Supreme is willing to recruit disciples, yet you still have concerns?
The other Ascendant State experts thought the same; they were all lost for words, feeling that the kid was truly insufferable. Even the famous Ascendant State experts were tempted by such an opportunity.
After all, becoming Lord Supreme's disciple meant that he would be able to learn many top Ascendant State secret techniques!
"All you need to do is cultivate. I won't impose too many restrictions on you."
The illusionary Lord Supreme seemed to have seen through Su Ping's concerns. He smiled, but there was a deeper meaning behind his words.
Su Ping thought for a moment after hearing that, but could only accept the offer.
It was mainly because he felt that it would be weird if he refused.
